After lots of requests I've now opened a "Buy Me A Coffee" page buymeacoffee.com/countryhousegent (I wanted a "Buy Me A Pork Pie" page, but the option wasn't there 🙂) Many thanks to you all,

we ditched the TV 4 years ago. Our entertainment is from people like yourself who produce lovely videos for us to watch. Thank you!

Thank you for not adding music to the ride. Gorgeous

Thank you very much for your vlog, at 73 I’ve never been on a motorbike before and I’m really overjoyed at riding on with you, it’s brilliant and the scenery is outstanding once again thank you for taking me with you ❤

Smart people choose smart destinations where they find other smart people who also choose to limit their exposure to the insanity of a world gone mad. Love the beauty and peace of this unspoiled countryside.

"Someone's been out polishing the water." This is one of the reasons why I so enjoy your videography, Kevin. I had just been thinking how smooth and shiny the bay looked.

I always thought, never having visited, that Scotland would be beautiful and remote, your vlog certainly shows this and captures that beauty for us to see, thank you Kevin for taking us along for the ride. 🤗👍

Well said about the media Kevin.!

Polished water. Wrinkled water. Intensely blue, gorgeous water. And stops along the way to just soak it all in. Absolutely glorious. Thanks, Kevin, for another lovely ride. ❤

Exactly my feeling!!! When following the media, it´s all negative ,horrid and bad. Not in my world,it isn´t! Looking around me , there are great people, helpful and supportive, warm and charitable. That´s why I don´t watch TV .... Important or relevant news always reach me,sooner or later. My world is happier that way

Enjoying every minute of your trip Kevin, thanks for taking us along on the ride!

Beautiful scenery. I hope you take us to a pub soon - getting thirsty...

Kevin, it’s like a series of picture postcards. Stunning. Thanks for the ride. 🏍️😃👍

As I recall a certain narrowboater once said, Kevin- 'Paradise found' 😉 This series is really uplifting 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

You’re using the GS ADV for exactly the reason it was designed, exactly the reason it’s been number 1 for 20 years. If they don’t get it, it’s their problem not ours 👍

These are great videos! The scenery is stunning (so glad the weather was cooperating). Thank you for making them!

What a fabulous journey, Kevin! Stunning production quality. Was in North Scotland in '84.

WONDERFUL Kev just WONDERFUL. Many thanks

Friday again. This means Kevin again! Excellent! Looking forward to this❤️

I simply love the sparce villages and the pride those residents take in their property. Cheers Lochranza! So relaxed now...pinch me please. Nice production Kevin.

The great thing about motorcycles is you never get lost, you just discover new and usually better and longer ways of getting from one place to another and then back again. Lovely footage.

This tour of Arran is essentially planning my summer break for me. Thank you 😁👍

62 miles of pure enjoyment

Brilliant Kevin, as per 😊 you are such an inspiration , you've shown that when life trys to pull you down self reflection can show up many dormant dreams and as you pursue them, many more open up! Watching your Videos is truly helping me pursue mine and i truly Thank you for that 🫶🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Ride whatever you like Honda CT 125 who cares whatever rock your BOAT man Great ride to

Dear Kevin, Well done, indeed. I have always found Scotland to be indescribable, but you have succeeded with your camera. I have only been once and do want to go back, with all my heart. Thank you for doing this. Cheers 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Your observation regarding the negativity of the media is spot on! The less we listen to them and engage more with nature the better off we are! I loved seeing the sheep. my grandmother raised sheep in Ireland in a setting very similar on Clare Island! Absolutely gorgeous!

Sun, sheep, moving cloud-shadows. Niiiiice.

I thoroughly enjoyed your commentary, your videoing, and your choice of what to show us as you made your way on the smooth road and the bumpy road. The place is completely stunning! I’m so glad you’ve decided to do this and share these videos with us. Thanks, Kevin!

Thanks for taking us along on this remarkable journey. Wow, just wow. Its my first time on a motorbike! Great work with the filming. And I can practically smell the ocean.

Beautimous. Totally beautimous!

Thank You Kevin ! I'm a mostly silent viewer..... but I Love your eye and your style man ! sbf

Another great trip with you thanks again 👍👍👌👌👏👏

Fantastic video yet again Kevin 😊 loving this tour of Scotland and the dramatic scenery. Wow! Incredible.

Looks absolutely amazing Kevin, what a place we live in 👌

Hi Kevin, My wife and I are long time subscribers to your channel. We enjoy all of your narrowboat videos and we just wanted to let you know that we are also enjoying your Motorcycle Road Trips - Scottish Islands videos. We love being able to see the Scottish scenery and listening to your commentary as you ride along. We are planning on a trip over to the UK in a couple of years, and this has made us want to go now. Thanks Kevin for your videos and taking us along on your trips. Both by narrowboat and motorcycle. Donna and David Sheets, Florida

Thrilling. That just is about all I can muster. Thank you for showing the stones... some of my family roots are in that area, long time ago.

Yes the views are so nice.

Absolutely stunning Kevin ,and a pleasure to watch my friend !

best series yet, Kevin!! scene after scene of picturesque landscapes -- love the new theme song, thought for a minute there it was you playing slide!!

Stunning, thanks for taking us along.

Starting to really enjoy your road trip. Safe travels and till next time...😊

Thank you, Kevin, for the wonderful scenery, history, and a bit of philosophy! Cheers!

I’ve my 9 times traveling around my ancestral home of Scotland I’ve always been peacefully gratified to find the kind of place and people I want to stay with forever. Your trip is absolutely beautiful and inspires me to bring a bike and return!! Thank you Kevin. 😍🤟

Love these vlogs so enjoyable, thanks for taking us with you 👍👍🥰

Many thanks for taking me on such an interesting ride

Enjoyed that very much. Thank you 😊

blooming marvellous!

Awesome, Kevin. Loving it.

I'm just back from going around The Mull of Kintyre, loads of quiet coastal B roads, cracking campsites and absolutely jaw dropping stunning scenery .

Great video and lovely views. Made me laugh when you mentioned the bike speed being slow - 35 - that’s lightspeed compared to Aslan! Cheers, Kevin!

Beautiful lucky Kevin you got the weather as well 👍🏽👍🏽

Absolutely Superb! I first watched this on TV on July 2nd. Just now getting to comment. Spectacular photography and editing. I particularly appreciated your commentary on how the world and people are not as bad as social and regular media make things out to be. I was feeling a bit overwhelmed at the time and it was comforting to hear your take on things. I never knew how little I knew about how fantastic Scotland is. I'm loving the education. Thank You! While you are doing this, I've been getting my boat fix from Narrowboat Will.

Thank you Kevin for taking the time and trouble to make these videos, it's such a treat to join you on your adventures. My parents used to take us on several holidays a year in the 50's and early 60's Scotland was always on the list of places to go, took my Dad hours to drive from Brum, no motorways then.

You are so right about the media trying to make us think everything is awful! When you interact with real live humans, you find that most folks are just living life on the daily. I certainly don’t have time for the drama anymore. (Leaves more tine for knitting!)

Awwww thank you for sharing all the beauty wish i was young again i would love to see the sights from your bike lol tc now Kevin ever in my thoughts 👍🤗

Really enjoying this series,Kevin.Thank you.

What a strikingly beautiful sea- like glass. Lovely holiday “we” are having! 😊 Enjoy!

Wow! The reflection on the water takes my breath away. Such a beautiful Island. It's a joy to experience the ride along with you. I love the Cairn. I'm a history nut. Checking out the beauty of a place and its history is my favorite thing to do in a new location. I vote with you both locations are wonderful. Thank you Kevin. Enjoy! See you in the next one. Safe travels

We literally went awwwww in a sad way at the end as it was so good and we have to wait till next week..we could have sat and watched hours worth of your bike ride and the scenery. Roll on next Friday :)

I tour the Highlands annually and use campsites along the NC500 ; most of the bikers that use that route have little time to admire the scenery due to the speeds they ride. I like your attitude of cruising whilst taking in all that most of Scotland has to offer. And I’m from Wales !!!

Thanks Kevin, this adventure just gets better and yes The Mighty GS is a big beautiful beast of a mile muncher and if I wanted to go on a long road trip I think that it'd be one that I'd love to do it on. Take care and all the best. Stevie

So enjoying my ride along on these episodes. Beautiful countryside. And Yes, news makes it seem like the world is falling apart lol. I ignore them. Enjoying watching the beautiful green hills as it iss 109 here in Tucson today, so we are all hibernating. Safe travels

Fabulous!

My Saturday ritual has been restored. Coffee, toast & CHG. thanks Kevin for your outstanding videos.

Stunning!

This video was stunning. I'm terrified of motorcycles but would so love to go on that tour. I am so thankful to hear your update on the people you have met on your visits. You have made my vision of the future a better one and for that - thank you. Please keep these videos coming! Becky W.

There's something about riding a bike you don't get in a car, that's for sure. The last bike I rode was a monoshock R100RS.

It's been exciting Kevin ! End of Part 3 already ! So much more exciting if you watch them in big chunks ! I think the Castle would HAVE to be my SUMMER home ! Me and 50,000 other people ! 5555 ! Stay safe Kevin, Travel strong ! Stu xx

I’m in awe! Stunning!

Lovely to see, in good weather. I'm amused by your rose tinted visor, Kevin. I'm sure you'd love the freezing mists, horizontal sleet and endless storms, that winter brings to these parts.

Absolutely loving these vlogs. I will confess I watch a Netherlands lady and I love the feeling of being on the bike 😂, the scenery in Scotland is stunning, I love it there and so nice to see areas that I would love to live 😊❤

Beautiful

Hello Kevin! What a surprise to see your video pop up in our feed! We watched every one of your narrow boat videos, then just one of your hiking videos, and now after many years we discover you on a motorcycle on a Scottish island! We always enjoyed your boat adventures and commentary, and felt like we got to know you quite well. And this video was like visiting with an old friend after a very long separation. It’s great to see you off on adventure, doing so well. Great video technique as always. Wishing you all the best and hope to catch more of your recent videos. Happy travels! 👍

Hi Kevin. That was a nicely paced ride. The scenery is amazing. Looks like you timed it to avoid the main tourist season 😄Take care. Nick

Hi Kevin. I enjoyed Part Three. The water shots were stunning, so still and blue! You were certainly in a remote part of the island. I’m glad you stopped off to look at the standing stones. Looked like there was some interesting history to read about them. I was concerned at you leaving the bike, but as you said, it was remote. I’m pleased to see from next week’s preview that you got your bacon and eggs! Roll on next Friday.

And the weather gods continue to shine

I live on the Isle of Cumbrae, which is opposite Largs. I am very lucky to live on a beautiful island, and I come from Birmingham. Island life suits me fine. I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of your journey. Thanks Kevin.

What fantastic scenery, looks like a great trip. You do, do an excellent job of filming/editing 👍👍

Great vlog Kevin. Beautiful scenery. Re your comments about the media, maybe the old saying should go - "there are lies, damn lies and statistics - oh - and the media".

very good I like

Beautiful views, thank uou

Amazing video mate… Loving your travels, stay safe

Your musing about riding your particular bike model simply because you like it and despite the detractors, reminds me of my parents. They own three different Harley-Davidsons, all softails. Also despite the objections of many other motorcycle riders in their lives.

Another amazing video, scenic and beautifully edited with all of the stills and slow rolls. Jealous of your time on the road. 1 day I hope to be able to travel again as I did in the past, on water and land. Stay active, Be Safe and Take Care !

I have recently added summer narrowboating to my bucket list but am ready to add a Scottish Isles campervan trip as well. The grey nomads seem quite welcome in those parts.

Fabulous, what a place. What a drive, the BMW appears to lap it up. Looking at my silver bomb proof Merc outside, 20 years old and thinking, it could handle that. It would be testing alone, at my age. Blue horizons. You should couple up with Henroy Cole and do a travel show. Look forward to 4.

Really enjoyed this, Kevin, thanks for letting us tag along.

I still follow your routes in VR. It gives me a chance to go slow and have a real look at things. I enjoy it, and I appreciate your vlogs for bringing me to these places to explore. For instance, at your campsite, there were what appeared to be jetties going out into the water, which were confusing. Looking at them from above, though, I could see they were natural, and there were lots of them. I went out and had a look at the lighthouse on the small island, and went out to look at the pointy island in the far distance. I went through the Lagg Distillery, which sells some very expensive whiskey, and I like studying the houses and various buildings in the area. It's more akin to walking the routes you travel and having the time to slowly look around when I want to, or speed ahead when there's not much to see. And now, episode three gives me more fun things to explore. Thank you for being my virtual tour guide, Kevin. You're a gem!

Beautiful. Thank you.

Wow. Thankyou so much for filming and sharing your videos. Amazing. ❤️

Love your comments and sarcasm …. but it’s so true that’s the sad parts .Cheers my friend from South Jersey U.S.A.

Beautiful! If you ever see yourself traveling in USA, consider riding the Pacific Coast Highway through Big Sur in Northern California. I have visited there a number of times and it never fails to be stunning. Another stunner USA cycle ride is through the Black Hills in South Dakota, particularly Needles Highway, Custer State Park, and Mount Rushmore.

Love your “twisty turning tarmac “ you have a poetic soul❤

Greetings from GA, USA. Another great video. Beautiful scenery. I did get a few butterflies in my stomach when the gold car you were following pulled into the turnout on the left, thinking they would make a U-turn in front of you. Happened to me years ago, only on the right side. Thankfully I anticipated such an antic and was already braking as they pulled out, thus avoiding a collision. I gave the driver a wave and smile and continued on my way.🙄

Glad you are enjoying your trip, the scenery is lovely, great video Kevin. ive followed your adventures since your 1st trip on your narrowboat.

Good evening, Kevin. What gorgeous scenery. Brings to mind the word "idyllic." Looks like a perfect place for a relaxing stay. I know technically you're working, but with all the beauty around you, I'm sure it doesn't seem like work. The best kind of job! Looking forward to more episodes of the beautiful islands. Thank you for sharing.

Just returned to my N Irish home from 4 days in the Oxfordshire/Cotswolds area on my hard-tail HD trike. I thought it was gorgeous there (so it was) but you've inspired me to broaden my horizons a little further to the rugged North of Scotland and her islands. I discovered last week that I had actually forgotten how the menu on my TV works because I spend free time watching creators like you. The purr of the GS is no substitute for the putt-putt of Aslan though ( maybe you could dub it over the soundtrack??)!! Keep the shiny side up - and thank you.

Am not a cycle rider, but thoroughly enjoying your trip.

Nice videos Kevin, We've just come back from Scotland, stayed in Lochgilphead and drove around the same road as you on Arran and Kintyre so you video is bringing back lots of memories, we caught the same ferry from Claonaig to Lochranza.
